Thinking about the argument, over the handball, some more: if the ball had ended up in the net, after hitting his hand, or hit his hand instead of the post and gone it, it would have been OK to allow the goal, then, because he was "protecting himself"? Total b0llocks!

As it was, the ball hitting his hand took the sting off it, otherwise it would have rebounded further out, instead of falling at the feet of the player who squared it for Ings to head in.

The handball in the area is biased against attackers. If it touches their hand at all, accidentally or not, it is a free kick.

Whereas with a defender, if it can be shown to be accidental or impossible to avoid, he gets away with it.

These are the current interpretation of the rules and consequently it was 100% right to disallow the goal. Only surprise is that VAR didnt call it themselves and referred it to the ref.

Even without the above, his handball directed it to Ings (?) so had a material impact.

I must have watched a different MoD. No fan of DM but he couldn't have been more complimentary.
Maybe if you were a neutral reading a transcript of what he said about us last night that might be true. But look at his face & his body language as he pukes out the complements about us. It’s like he’s bringing up fur balls.

If anyone's going to live up to their surname tonight, it'll be Bryan Boomo.

I hadn't realised that Dan Bentley was now playing for Wolves and it was his mistake that led to Everton's valuable late equaliser.

Why on earth does anyone think we would be ahead of those games?!

One literally decided the title, one was a massive relegation battle and the others were CL related.

Would have been bizarre if we weren't second last

? Klopp moaning about time wasting ???

Anyone else think lineker is really smarmy about the Toney situation?
Obviously after his previous comments

It's quite obvious to see why Southampton are going down.

MOTD put up a big six league table, guess who was top. Maybe someone cleverer than me at tech could add it

They conceded almost 80 goals so makes sense. Toon had that moody defence for first half of the season which again makes sense
